Gage wants nothing more than to sweep the lovely new algebra teacher off her feet and settle into a comfortable life raising his teenage son.

Review by: Jennifer
(4 Stars)
Retired pro-football player, Gage, has decided that coaching football at the high school level is his next step in life; that and making his son his main priority. Carly has been on the move, trying to stay one step ahead of her abusive ex-husband, this time she thinks she has the hang of hiding in plain sight. Running into Gage in the hallway has left Carly a bit shook up, and not in a bad way, but she knows with her history, there is no way she can trust another man again. Can Gage prove to her he is the man worth risking it all for?
For the fact that this was the author's first story, this was a really good first book. There is room for improvement but I was actually amazed with what she did write. Drama, a bit of danger, some ok naughty moments. I will say that at times Carly got on my nerves a bit, with her assumptions and tears, someone in the position she is in would be a bit harder and not so quick to well up. All in all I'm impressed and I give this 4 stars.

Larissa Gail writes contemporary romance with a hint of suspense. Recently retired teacher, mother of two grown children and their spouses, and soon to be grandmother, she lives in West Texas with her husband and one very spoiled Gordan Setter. When not writing about hot alpha men and the women who capture their hearts — or even when she is — you can find Larissa and her husband traveling in their camper exploring the great outdoors.
